Berserk - Chapter 303
Millennium Falcon Arc
Chapter Of Falconia
Backlight
Ganishka’s past was actually pretty interesting. I love this kind of stories on Berserk, where characters are forced into doing horrible things, the art and dark ambient are also excellent. Anyway, since he was little, he had his mother as his enemy. He ends being able to kill her and his brother, who she wanted to make king.
Later, he was always fighting for his survival in the middle of all the royalty. He manages to make his way to the throne by helping kill his own father. He has known nothing but fear since he was born.
As he becomes king, he’s forced into battle with other nations. He becomes to accustomed to it. It’s like he fears that someone might come and take him down so, he wants to conquer the whole world. Also, he gets a wife and son but, he fears his own family, just like his family feared him.
Later in time, in a banquet, his son and some guards betray and try to kill him, staging a coup d’etat. Just before dying, he grabs the odd stone that was given to him at some point.
So, that’s when he first used the Behelit. Back to the present, he’s engulfed by the light coming from the Hawk. It’s like he’s just waiting for salvation (death). And, as Griffith approaches, out of nowhere, the Skull Knight appears. Griffith and Zodd are both surprised. There’s no time to react and Skull slashes down his sword through Griffith.
Now, that was a really unforeseen twist. I doubt Skull can just have killed Griffith like that, still, if he somehow hurt him, it will probably change the course of this whole battle against Ganishka. And I hope Skull manages to escape. If he gets killed here, Guts forces are like cut in half almost, with one of his strongest allies gone.
- Personal Enjoyment: 5/5
